On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (16-0225-BLA) Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Dorothy P. Glasscock, Petitioner Pro Se. Joseph Daniel Halbert, SHELTON, HELTON, BRANHAM & HALBERT, PLLC, Lexington, Kentucky; Sean Gregory Bajkowski, Sarah Marie Hurley, Gary K. Stearman, Office of the Solicitor - Black Lung Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondents. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Dorothy P. Glasscock seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's decision and order affirming the administrative law judge's denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2012). Glasscock's informal brief identifies no reversible error in the Board's decision. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
